    A boring pile of overhyped horse crap, that will have its player base die faster than Titanfall. Feel free to throw your money away if you must have this game. Feel free to throw even more away with tye countless micro transaction options it offers.

    Save your money for May so that you can support a real developer like cd projekt red that won't nickel and dime you left and right. This game has to fail in order to avoid a collapse in the gaming industry. I hope it bombs financially after reading quotes from the developer and publisher.

    Day 1 DLC to actually have a complete game = -5 points.

    Other than that, it's a fun game for a few hours, then it's extremely repetitive. So review outside of DLC = 6/10, day 1 DLC = 1/10.

    Don't buy.

    S H A L L O W. This game doesn't offer enough to justify its $60 price tag. It's fun but gets old/repetitive pretty rapidly.
    It's multiplayer vs only game. This is basically L4D deathmatch with souped up tank vs survivors with gimmicks (evolve!).
    There are mods for L4D that more or less simulate this gameplay. Go ahead and try that if you're on the fence. Would've better at half the    S H A L L O W. This game doesn't offer enough to justify its $60 price tag. It's fun but gets old/repetitive pretty rapidly.

    I have put around 62 hours into this game. It looks great. Great mapping, great worlds and creatures. However, it is really glitched. Game with friends constantly disconnects. Not just me. Everyone on my team. You start over and have lost every point and xp from the previous game. Mouse cursor is visible during the game which is very annoying when shooting. Then when you need your mouse cursor for selecting characters and weapon setup the cursor is gone. its taking its union break i suppose. Had a couple people drop off map and get stuck. They should have used the $$ and personnel to make HL3. Multiplier IS the future of gaming but games like this will be as short lived as a bottle rocket. And a story line never hurt anyone! come on kids, get one. Critic reviews are mid to high. idk why. guess they aren't paid to write negative reviews. Take them with a grain of salt.

    1)It gets really boring really fast.
    2)extremely repetitive. so so so so so so so so so so repetitive.
    3)No story line. They try to hint at one. fails.
    4) DLC. Pay more money for more monsters and characters to play the same repetitiveness. No, screw that. DLC only work for games that bring you something really new. Not, "hey. want a new skin for your old monster 5bucks please."    … Expand

But, Evolve also fails in a proper price setting. Half of the game is fully unlocked, but the other half is limited and requires you to grind, or pay from your wallet. That is why Turtle Rock Studios should have made it free to play. Evolve has problems in the techincal department too, pop in textures in a crowded multiplayer mode, laggy movements during **** hits the fan sequences and muddy textures. Evolve is a game only for next gen devices, but the PC version looks way better than the PS4 version, I demoed at my friend's house. There are a lot of jerks filling up servers, so when you boot up the game, expect a 30 minute wait to get into a match. Evolve is online only, so that means you need a good internet hookup and plenty for friends to play with, otherwise it will be horde mode with creepy aliens for you, my friend. I liked the E3 announcement and got the game because of the ideas and interesting multiplayer modes. But, Evolve really gave me the lukewarm game I didn't expect. The bland visuals, lag, crowded servers and the unfair purchase system make Evolve, one to get once it lands up in a sale bin at Walmart.… Expand

    Now that's out of the way how about the gameplay? Well it's decent at best, it gets very repetitive very quickly as the game only features one gamemode, YES I know there's more, but the only gamemode that anyone plays is Hunt while the others are never touched. Playing as the monster is kinda cool, but it should have been in first person, so I had an idea who I was killing. Playing as the hunters was boring for me because all of the characters feel like carbon copies of other FPS classes, except the Trapper who is unique.

    The story? It's terrible ESPECIALLY THE ENDING, and the game has next to new character, all of the characters are all bland and boring.

    The graphics while amazing, you do need a powerful PC for it to run on max settings, overall the world of Evolve looks great!

    Overall Evolve is a massive cash cow and a disgrace to gaming, plus I predicted that this game would suffer the same fate as Titanfall in my steam review, "Hyped with lots of DLC, dies within a month" and I was right, right now in the time of this review the original Killing Floor had more players (And it's dieing because of Killing Floor 2 and the lack of new content) then Evolve, that's a joke, like this game and it's precious DLC life support.

    Whenever you see 2K publish or Turtle Rock Studios develop a new game, just remember they shat out this massive lazy cash cow, and don't fall into the same trap, especially 2K, they love chopping up content and selling it as DLC, look at Borderlands 2, the Pre-Sequel and the Sid Meier's games, look at all that DLC they sell, and it's getting worse.    … Expand

Now i went back to check it out, to see if they had any success with this dirty money milking scheme and all i could find was that there are 682 players online and that they "shipped out" (not sold) 2.5 million copies. Promising product, bad marketing - total failure. Just so you understand how much they failed with this one, most reviewers on steam did not play it for more than 5 hours. I have the options to review it on steam, since i have played it on Alpha and it says that the game is in my library, but when i try to post my review there, i get a red error message. They try to censor negative reviews as much as possible. Stay away from these people and their games. I will refuse to play this game even if it will go free and money will be given for playing it.

Not like those who within minutes of the game release automatically give it a 10 because they are fanbois, or are haters who automatically give it a zero because of some personal pet peeve and most likely don't even own the game.

    Everyone knows the premise of the game - been plenty of media on that. 4    Here's a review from someone who has actually played the game for a few hours. Not like those who within minutes of the game release automatically give it a 10 because they are fanbois, or are haters who automatically give it a zero because of some personal pet peeve and most likely don't even own the game.

    Everyone knows the premise of the game - been plenty of media on that. 4 hunters vs. 1 monster and vice versa, so I won't get into that.

    Pros:
    - Graphics are quite good as well as sound effects.
    - Entertaining maps.
    - Interesting concept, almost like playing against or as a boss monster in every round.
    - Unique hunter skill sets.
    - Ability to play as a monster or hunter.

    Cons
    - Monster POV is frustrating.
    - Best play is co-op, but opportunities of having your own team/friends to do this are small.
    - Play gets repetitive.
    - Awfully noisy, especially solo. Lots of character shouts, multiple weapons going on, monsters screaming. After a while, it sounds like you've put your head in a trash compactor and it won't stop.

    All in all, I'd quantify it as a good, but not great game. Not yet at any rate. My biggest beef is with the monster POV. Hard to tell when to jump, when to climb because it is difficult to judge distances, and more often than not, I'd find my monster facing a wall when I tried to use one of the special attacks.

    The co-op portion is frustrating. I won't play co-op games unless I'm with people I know because what you get off the servers is 99 times out of 100, some 12 year old foul-mouthed kid who thinks they know everything. So this being a new (and expensive) game, means that co-op opportunities for me are going to be little to none until my friends slowly pick up the game as the price drops. BUT...if you can get a group together, it's a very entertaining co-op.

    So solo - I give the game a 6, co-op with friends I give it an 8, average it out for a 7 score. Might update it later with more game play, but that's where I have it with a little over eight hours play involved.    … Expand

I think it would be practical to have the assault class the slowest, and the medic the most agile etc but there not. You can however pre-match select perks like say 200% jump height or a damage/defence buff which does add a compelling element and keeps things spicy. And there is a online campaign (reminiscent of titanfall) which lasts for a few hours. The game does boast a innovative feature in which the online campaign called "evacuation" when the hunters/monster wins a match they upon starting the next match gets a in-game buff to help them out in the form of a turret, toxic cloud etc. I also have noticed no immersive on-screen elements like screen bob when you fall, recoil through pro-longed firing etc. Plus there are 4 characters behind a day one paywall, but there is also free future map packs. Graphics are extremely poor for 2015, with teture pop in, clipping etc. Overall a fun game, but little to compel you to play it for long :)… Expand

Things like friends can't connect via online lobby and start a game (but very well can if one opens a game, starts it and then the other hot joins with some luck) those have been adressed by the community but never where adressed by the developer. Which even further feeds the feeling that the Betas where in fact marketing events instead of bug-hunting parties.

    In the end, evolve isn't bad. Just very medicore and on a price tag that's too muchin my opinion.    … Expand

    Evolve is a great game, but 2k games screwed it up by giving you an unfinished game with first day DLC. The game could use a little bit of tweaking here and there, but here is a tip: don't buy it full price. Wait till it goes on sale. I'd say Evolve and all of it's DLC is worth 60 dollars, so just wait like the hunters when they try to track the monster

Oh that's right it died out when games like CoD and Madden's Ultimate Team came out that allowed lazy gamer's the ability to become an elite player by buying their way into the higher ranks instead of grinding and doing it the old skool way. Its just sad. I'll buy the game eventually because I loved the concept of the game.

Hunt (deathmatch), Rescue (Hunters recuse and escort human survivors to extraction points, monster attempt to kill survivors or hunters), and Nest (Hunters attempt to destroy monster eggs around the map, monster attempts to kill them or defend till time runs out) are the three available game modes with Evacuation serving as a version of game mode that mixes the three in a "week" of fighting and then introduces Defend as the final encounter (which is basically reversed Nest with some added bells and whistles).

    Now, to the million dollar question.. is it worth the price? And the answer if we look at the content released by pretty much any other game, would be a shoulder shrug and a not really. Does this make the game less fun? No, it doesn't... but their money making model is going to hurt them in the long game by ostracizing players who both see the glaring flaws in their content-starved release as well as have become insanely entitled by many F2P titles (Even in this genre one could look at Nosgoth as a F2P competitor)

    As far as how the game handles itself within the pvp space -- I'd say it does a good job. You have pretty solid balance with a few minor and non-game breaking exceptions and the game doesn't spoon feed you on what to do or how to do it, which does lead to the inevitable "X IS OP!!1111" cries on the forums. You also have a pretty wild skill cap difference from the players who have been with the game since mid-alpha, as well as some early indications of working hacks (neither of which is anything new, or specific to Evolve). The limited number of game modes and maps does yield some serious repetition early on, which will drive away heavy players earlier than many games do.. so hopefully Turtle Rock will stay on it's content release, and not try and charge players every time they push out a new tidbit of code.

    For what it does, I'd give Evolve an 7 of 10 with the caveat that the game should be doing considerably more given it's pricetag. A single player campaign would've gone a long way with the playerbase, as well as given Turtle Rock a chance to throw a little more backstory on the hunters and monsters into the mix... and only four game types is a little odd, especially considering that once of them is purely just deathmatch and the others really aren't anything truly new within the space.

    I'm having fun with the game, but I can certainly see how gamers on limited budgets would pass this one over.    … Expand

    The game isn't glitchy, or flawed in terms of mechanics, but it's incredibly, incredibly lacking of content. It is definitely not worth the $70 price tag unless you know exactly what you're getting. It's filled with day one dlc that should have been in the full game, but for some reason wasn't added in. Other than that, this game is great, and if it goes on sale, it's worth picking up.

    For those of you who are still wondering what exactly this game is, its a 4 vs 1 shooter that is mostly aimed for people who like playing video games with friends. There are 4 players on a single team, each with a different class, going against another player on his own team. The catch is, that one player is a giant monster and will require teamwork to defeat. If you still don't get it, watch some gameplay or the trailer.

    The idea is that four friends can come together to hunt giant monsters and have fun. And while in theory it's awesome, the reality is that this game isn't very fun all around. Encounters with the monsters loose their value after certain repetition. In the end, after a couple days this game seems old.

It has been a month and a half since release and the game is still unbalanced. Some hunters are just useless and the Wraith's decoy is just unbelievably annoying, you spam it inside a dome and you barely get detected. I will not go into details about which hunters are the worst or almost unplayable but my point is that the game has not been balanced and even with the balance patch getting released, there will be new content which will make the game even more boring considering how much the new hunters cost (30$ for 4 hunters). This means that we won't enjoy the balanced game unless we buy the new hunters because who would want to play with the same old boring content. I bought the game for 34$ including the 4th monster and now TRS want me to pay nearly as much just to get 4 new hunters, that is unfortunately the main reason why this game is boring imo and could also be called pay to win. Match making is a shame too, 90% of the time, you end up in the same lobby that you were in just seconds ago, and what's worse is that it often makes you join an existing match multiple times (and wait for the map to load) when you have quit once before and waited for 1 minute (you have to wait 1 minute every time you quit an existing match) to be able to find another lobby (or the same lobby of course). I did enjoy this game up until the point when I realized that it is just a moneymaker for Turtle Rock Studios, so unless you have +100$ to spend on the game to not become boring after a week, I do not recommend it.

    I can also add that the developers are Microsoft whores that only care about XBOX and advertise XBOX as their platform of choice when this game is a CryEngine game and PC should be the #1 platform, but unfortunately, TRS failed at utilizing CE correctly and it shows in game. You CAN NOT change any graphical setting when you are in a match, you can't even change the resolution, now I would like someone to tell me what cryengine game doesn't let you change settings in-game.

    Let me start off by saying...I don't pre-order games. This is the only exception I've had.

It's been described as "A videogame boss fight, in which the boss is player-controlled". This really changes    Let me start off by saying...I don't pre-order games. This is the only exception I've had.
    Evolve's a 4v1 multiplayer-oriented FPS game that focuses on a team of hunters that have been sent in to the planet Shear to deal with the planet's rather nasty non-native monster problem. It's been described as "A videogame boss fight, in which the boss is player-controlled". This really changes things from traditional boss fights, making the game a whole lot more fun.
    There are 4 distinct hunter classes: Assault, Medic, Support, and Trapper. The hunters must rely on teamwork and coordination to take down the monster, which is able to "evolve". This "evolution" ability allows the monster to, essentially, get bigger and stronger. Matches start in favor of the hunters at monster Stage 1. Things shift to become balanced at Stage 2, and once the monster gets to Stage 3, it has the advantage (this doesn't at all mean that the Monster is overpowered at Stage 3).

    Evolve is an experience that can be described by the phrase "Easy to learn, difficult to master". There is a learning curve, mainly that deals with proper movement management for the Hunters and Monster, as well as teamwork. It is absolutely necessary that the hunters work together, at least outside of fights with inexperienced monsters. Once you learn the basics (and over the course of the first few hours of playing, you'll know what's necessary), the game becomes a whole lot more fun. The game deals less with having fast reflexes and powerful guns to kill your opponent, and more with executing a careful plan, on both sides of the fight. Sneaking up on your opponent, surprising them, doubling-back, etc. are all strategies the monster is able to employ to shift the balance in his/her favor. Hunters can use item combinations, such as the famous "Beam Team" employed by the support Hank and medic Val to heal a teammate and keep them invincible for a short time (Hank has an invincibility beam, and Val has a traditional-style MedGun).

    There's a lot of depth in Evolve. Different combinations of hunters and their respective items/weapons/abilities make for a lot of different strategies. Even with the individual hunters, some pretty cool ideas have been formed: for example, the Trapper, Abe, has a tracking dart pistol that can track the monster if it's shot at it directly, or if the monster eats wildlife that has been tracked. I played in a match during the beta in which the hunters and I (I was running Abe, then) ran with a strategy known as the "War of Attrition", which is basically killing all wildlife and tracking it. The match got really interesting, since we were employing this strategy whenever possible.

    The characters themselves are fantastic. Each of the hunters has their own fun bits of dialogue, and their designs are fantastic. All characters (monsters included) have a distinct personality. Lazarus is a stubborn, grumpy old man; Markov's a jolly, optimistic man who's obsessed with dying a glorious death in battle; and Cabot's the optimistic, great leader of the group (just to name off a few).
    Graphics are fantastic; this runs on Cryengine, so that's no surprise there. Even on lower-end hardware like the PC I use, I have next to no complaints. Anyone who's complained about the graphics really doesn't have any justification, in my opinion. Audio as well; great music, great sound effects.

    There's a lot of controversy surrounding the game for its DLC, and instead of explaining why this isn't an issue, I'll just leave you with this final point: you don't have to buy DLC.
    Happy hunting.    … Expand

    back to the game

    there's no reason to fault this game on for being like some other games, which games does not take forms and shapes of existing games? To me this is a fresh take an interesting idea which i have doubts of my own that it will not hold your interest for long also for being straight-out repetitive.

    the good

    Monsters
    Evolve! the monster mechanic is simple and intuitive, i just like the simple hunt n eat and evolve concept. it has its learning curve and its really not for everyone as the pressure to survive and evolve is sky high the moment you start. the tutorials are the best tips and i can tell you no other games explains the game to you for success like evolve does. when i got the combo right when caught in the frantic assault from the hunters, i managed to swipe the hunters at lv1. after unlocking the second monster kragen and using it was an entire new experience, needing to understand and play to your monsters strength.

    Hunters
    i have yet to unlock the second tier and i'm already excited on the prospect of using them, simple straight forward skills and rewards you when the combo is right, ambushing circling monster is really satisfying. Very distinctive combat role (so what its like team fortress?) which many players are getting the hang of it online which the experience from day 1 to 2 is really encouraging. i'm quite pleasantly surprised to know that there are 12 characters on default as i was expecting a rip off of just 4 and others as paid dlcs.

    VFX
    fantastic sound effects, booming sound on my steel series, i have no problem with the soundtrack which a review mention was stale, guess i'm overwhelmed by the intense battles and escapes going on to notice. graphics wise are good but nothing spectacular, its an average next gen looking game.

    Gameplay
    playing to your role is essential, loving it, nothing is overpowered and everything can be counter with environments and strategies. Really solid gameplay which is the core of every game, the weight and hard hitting moves are on spot. as i have mention i can't wait to play with the new weaponry of the other tiers of characters. Very helpful bots which i don't find in other game, keeps the flow going at all times.

    the bad

    lacking in monster evolving both in terms of design and skills, greatest down side of a game call evolve, its basically levelling up. i feel there's more dynamic to the hunters instead...i believe there should be at least a second tier of skills to each monster after evolving to lv 3. what a waste of concept...    … Expand

As a monster, you are one of those said beasts trying to hunt prey to gain armor and energy to (you guessed it!) evolve.

As a monster, you are one of those said beasts trying to hunt prey to gain armor and energy to (you guessed it!) evolve.

    The gameplay is rewarding on both ends, as a hunter it's all about the teamwork. A good trapper to keep the monster from running away when it's armor is depleted, a medic to keep on the bounce and make sure the team stays alive, support offers boosts to damage and defensive boons and the assault grinds away on the beast until it is no more. Each class has three different hunters which offer their own unique way of performing their roles.

    The monster's game is far different, you start as a neonate creature looking to gain power and strength. You spend your first part of the game evading the hunters, hunting wildlife to raise your armor and eventually go from stage 1 to stage 3, gaining ability points to add into one of four moves. Each of the three monsters has a unique play style, the Goliath is a brawler with good armor and does solid damage. The Kraken is all about distance and precision attacks and the Wraith is stealth whirlwind of death at close range. Add in the environmental hazard like aggressive wildlife, man eating plants and pools of acid and you have a solid arena for combat.

    With only two modes at launch and a few connectivity issues, the game does fall short of a loft score of 9+, but is a solid experience online all the same. Lack of a true story mission does leave you wanting of what is an outstanding setting and back story, and while you do get some of that through pre launch banter and idle conversation from the hunters, you're left feeling more like an outsider that immersed in this fantastic world. As the monster you don't need to know your origins, you know you're hungry and that you don't like being shot at.

    It's refreshing that the micro transactions on this game are limited to cosmetic upgrades rather than content itself. However it's clear that this could become similar to games like League of Legends as new monsters will be through paid DLC(unless you pre-ordered the game.), no word if hunters will come after as well.

    Frustrating connectivity issues that occurred during the open beta last month are somewhat taken care of, but they still exist, but they seem now to be occasional hiccups rather than game breaking hour long disconnect-fests of January 2015.

    All in all this is a game that I found myself enjoying for hours upon hours with a random party who must have played a good dozen matches with me online. It's great fun working with your teammates and hearing them react to close calls and epic moves on the part of the monster or your fellow hunters and hardly worth the harsh criticisms that users seem to place upon it for one reason or another. While not game of the year material, a solid game through and through and will likely get better once the last few connection bugs are dealt with. I give this game an enthusiastic 8 out of 10, falling just short of a 9 only due to day 1 connection issues.    … Expand

    Fantastic, innovative gameplay, but a buggy mess. Crap matchmaking. Grindy progression system that at times is more of a chore then satisfying. The DLC debacle does not bother me, but a lot of people are very much against it. Game would be an easy 9/10 were it not so broken, but as of now the high levels of frustration outweighs the enjoyable competitive aspect.

EVOLVE finally gives players the opportunity to not only play as the human heroes trying to save humanity by killing that disgusting monster but the chance to FINALLY be the bad guy, and OH DOES IT FEEL GOOD! EVOLVE is a game that madeEver played games and wondered what it is like to be that huge hulking boss with multiple stages and takes a finely tuned strategy and skill to take down? EVOLVE finally gives players the opportunity to not only play as the human heroes trying to save humanity by killing that disgusting monster but the chance to FINALLY be the bad guy, and OH DOES IT FEEL GOOD! EVOLVE is a game that made large promises and did nothing but fulfill them. Chasing down the monster and working together with a team of four unique hunters that have synergy in hugely varying ways is fun and exciting. While playing as the monster is a completely different and unique experience ranging from paranoia and fear of being caught early at stage 1 to evolving to stage 3 and feeling like a god raining down rock and electricity on unsuspecting humans, and its FUN the whole time.

    The complaints about pricing are based on the grounds of a traditional game but evolve not falling into the traditional game category is what makes it so beautiful. No hold your hand story is present here but through the conversation pieces and short, and cool cut scenes the setting of Shear and the hunters role their is fleshed out. The hunters personalities are as varied as their skill sets with all of them having varying reasons for their being in this elite team of hunters.

    The three available monsters are hugely different with each one playing completely different. The first available monster is the Goliath who is all about jumping in and pummeling as many humans as possible and then getting out fast. By playing this monster the Kraken can be unlocked, which is my personal favorite of the three. This monster floats above the battlefield dishing out electric shocks aplenty with its skill set but once it is pinned down it is relatively weak. Finally the wraith is unlocked which playing against its toolbox of tricky escapes and stealthy tactics makes this monster extremely difficult to pin down and deal with but with its weak armor is the easiest to weaken early and throughout the game.

    for $60 dollars this game is going to keep me busy for a long time and I know for me and the rest of the hunters and monsters out their it was well worth dishing out the cash to learn all these new characters and master killing a monster, or FINALLY playing as that unstoppable boss and shredding four poor human players.    … Expand

    To conduct this review properly we need to go through a little bit of disambiguation: First and foremost, you need not purchase anything other than the base game to currently enjoy Evolve to it's fullest. A lot of reviewers have been incorrectly stating that without buying the Deluxe or PC Monster Race editions you are essentially locked behind a pay-wall. That is completely false. AllTo conduct this review properly we need to go through a little bit of disambiguation: First and foremost, you need not purchase anything other than the base game to currently enjoy Evolve to it's fullest. A lot of reviewers have been incorrectly stating that without buying the Deluxe or PC Monster Race editions you are essentially locked behind a pay-wall. That is completely false. All twelve hunters and three monsters are available in the base game so long as you are skilled enough to unlock them.

    Second, the only DLC that is currently available for Evolve are Monster and Hunter skins. The same exact thing that is sold in almost every game that allows you to customize your character. Also, the skins do nothing but alter certain portions of your character. They do absolutely nothing else. So, really, there is no meaningful day one DLC. Certainly nothing as nefarious as Ubisoft's attempt to split the game depending on who you preordered from.

    With that out of way lets get into the actual review of the game:

    Evolve is a multiplayer, action/FPS hybrid. You play either as a ghastly Monster trying to survive as hunters track you, or a colorful assortment of hunters trying to put the boot down on some ugly critter. You will get the most bang for your buck by playing with friends and diving into the multiplayer portions, though there are solo modes in which you can practice playing as the Monster or the hunters.

    Evolve shines with it's frenetic multiplayer action. Fights are generally fast paced, but this isn't your typical arena shooter. The monster can---and will---try and trick you. Games can last anywhere from a few minutes, to thirty, depending on the skill of the Monster and the players you're grouped with. The flagship mode Hunt is probably where you'll spend most of your time. Your objective is simple: If you're the Hunter, find the Monster and eliminate him...or survive until the time runs out. If you're the Monster, your objective is normally to destroy the power generator, though I find it much more delightful to turn the tables on my would-be hunters and turn them into oddly shaped blood sprays on the wall.

    A headset is a MUST, and if you don't believe me, try getting eaten by a plant---or being grabbed by one of Shear's nasty non-Monster critters---and having your entire team run away because they couldn't hear your character's death warble. You simply will NOT be effective when trying to communicate by using text chat. Games are won and lost by the communication of the people playing them. If you're not comfortable using a microphone, THIS GAME IS NOT FOR YOU. You're doing a huge disservice to your teammates by being incommunicado.

    Game performance is excellent: You don't need a monstrous(pun intended) rig to play this game, though every little bit certainly helps.

    There are a few bugs which I'd be remiss by not mentioning, however. The cursor can sometimes be visible when playing a game. Spamming the Steam overlay sometimes gets rid of it, as does deactivating it in the Steam settings entirely. Bucket's UAV drone controls are still as bad as they were in the beta, though I'm unsure whether this is a bug or by design. Certain character actions can bug out and show as not working when, in fact, they are. For instance, Hyde's flamethrower animation sometimes doesn't enable, even though he is in fact spraying flames.

    Matchmaking, for the most part, works flawlessly. A few games you might be chosen as the Monster even if you're in a party with friends. When that happens just cackle gleefully into the microphone as you eviscerate them and gulp down their corpses.

    Is this game for you? Ultimately you are the deciding factor when purchasing a game. Do you like multiplayer games where you MUST work as a team to win? Do you like being outnumbered, outgunned and on the run as you try and turn the tables on the people hunting you?

    Despite the minor issues listed above, this game truly is fantastic. It combines a novel idea with fantastic, synergistic gameplay in a way that hasn't been done before. Don't let the reviews of petulant children, who are often misinformed about the title they are bashing, dissuade you from playing a game where you DON'T need any of the offered DLC to enjoy it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you're looking for an enthralling story, heroes, and plot twists, try a good RPG. This is a hunting game, and then name of the game is kill or be-killed. Evolve really taps into that primal sense of fear humans have burned into our genetic memory from millions of years of, you guessed it, evolution. Nothing gets your heart going more than crouching in a choice hiding place, praying that the hunters who've tracked you down will keep moving straight past. And when you finally consume and destroy enough wildlife to evolve into a level 3 monster, and it's time to take the fight to the humans, the pure chaos and destruction of the final battle just can't be topped.

    Some people won't be excited because you can't buy better weapons or shoot all the things and win instantly, but in terms of replay value and game growth, this one is a multiplayer winner. The requirement for teamwork and coordination is unparalleled, and after getting hammered into the ground a couple of times, you might find that setting up your mic and talking to your teammates might keep you alive a little longer.

    All in all, Evolve is all about cat-and-mouse; running and hiding from the cat until the mouse eats enough cheese to separate the cat from its spine in a satisfyingly gory fashion.    … Expand

    Firstly let's get one thing straight. Evolve is a true AAA title and the most innovative shooter in several years. It's addictive as crack and as replayable as any MOBA, if you like competitive games - go for it. It's worth every buck of its price.

Evolve is a true AAA title and the most innovative shooter in several years. It's addictive as crack and as replayable as any MOBA, if you like competitive games - go for it. It's worth every buck of its price.
    Now, the details. People are **** in reviews about day-1 dlcs. Well they are plain wrong: there is NO day-1 dlc, there are a few cosmetic items (skins), and the default skins look gorgeous enough that you should feel no urge to buy anything, unless you're a hipster. These items actually cost less than any cosmetic in DOTA or LOL. 4-th hunter and monster tiers are indeed not in the game and a dlc, but guess what? They're not done yet! There is *no* dlc for gameplay content at this moment (there may be preorders for later such content).
    While your enjoyment of the game surely will depend on team composition, like in any multiplayer game, the matches are fast and action-packed enough that you will never feel frustrated if you team sucks. Matches are limited by 20 minutes, most of them end within 10 minutes. Hell, I often end the match in 6 minutes! So you should never experience that excruciating DOTA-style rage against your teammates. If they suck, then you will just quickly loose and find another team. I almost always play solo and I find it pretty enjoyable, especially if everyone can use a mic.
    Most maps are actually larger than in L4D2. They are not a maze like in L4D2 but an open space with obstacles, thus you can run around them much faster, but there is still plenty of space to hide and seek. Hell, sometimes playing as a hunter I feel like there is *too much* space! A good monster can easily hide indefinitely and it takes an equally good hunter to find it. So people asking for larger maps don't know what they're asking for. There are also more than a dozen maps and several game modes. Together with different gameplay tactics you can easily spend a hundred of hours into this game before it will truly feel repetitive. But hey, people spend thousands of hours on CS with just a handful of most played maps and same gameplay, on TF2 or on DOTA (which have *one* map). It's about the depth of game, not the quantity of its maps.
    The bad thing about Evolve is that it requires a fairly modern PC. I have a 3-year old rig which is above the minimum, but below the required specs, and I sometimes experience framerate drops and occasionally game-breaking stutter even on low settings. So you need either a recommended level PC or some strong nerves to play it.    … Expand

    I picked up the game at Gamestop (a store that try's to UP sales the moment you walk in the doors) and left with JUST Evolve in my hands (no code on my receipt). Normally as you know you walk out with DLC codes, $29.99 for season pass, and paid to renew your Powere Up card.

    evolVe game play: The moment gaming is not FUN... it will find a new pass time. I have been a gamer since PONG, and the memories I have about gaming is not how awesome the game looks, but how much FUN I had. Having a group of 3 friends... we hunted the monster, and we had FUN. It took me back to the HALO days... and how much FUN we had.

    The DLc: I understand how gamer's are upset with feeling like they are being squeezed for more money. With all the DAY ONE: DLC it does feel like it could of/should of been a FREE-TO-PLAY game. BUT... you honestly do NOT need to buy ANY of the DLC at all to enjoy this game.

    You wanna know my BIGGEST gripe was not the $60 plus DLC... BUT that it took SO long to download on my XboxOne. The DL time on the XboxOne is horrible. I wish that could be fixed... (has nothing to with THIS game)

    My score is a 7 on my FUN factor. This will be a game my friends and I will have epic nights of HIDE n SEEK in a world that monsters lurk. The visuals are nice to look at. The sound is awesome when you hear the thumping of the monster near to you it makes you heart beat just as loud. Controls take a little while to get use to, but once its programmed in your mind... they are very good.

    If you are on the fence about getting this game... go to a REDBOX and you will know after a few hours.

    This game is a very fun TEAM oriented experience. If you play as a team it can be really awesome and rewarding to play. However, if you decide to be a 80's action star, then you are going to die and screw your other hunters over. This game is not perfect but it is an awesome multiplayer experience that i highly recommend to players looking for a team base game unlike COD.

    -Tutorial lied, the tracks never lead to the monster.
    -Plants are OP. I kept mashing 'E' but couldn't break out. A teammate finally caught up with me enough to kill it. It died in one hit so obviously I was about to break out.
    -Monster is too hard to solo. I'm going back to CoD where at least the boss fights are done with QTE.
    -Other players are too slow, and won't heal themselves. They kept asking me to heal them just because I was smart enough to play a medic. One even demanded I come and help him up and whined about strikes. I told him "3 strikes you out noob". I think he ragequit after that, definite noob move. No loss, he wasn't even trying to DPS he just kept throwing out this stupid blue dome.
    -Fairly certain killshot and KDR reporting is broken. The other hunters didn't congratulate me for getting the killshot. I certainly didn't get any XP for it.

    Kidding aside, I love the game. It feels like a lot of people just want to hate on it because they heard DLC and went rabid, and never bothered to check facts. Neither did any of the gaming news sites, who probably loved all the clickbait the DLC controversy caused.

I just feel the need to say that this game is fun. I played the Alpha with a buddy on his PC. At the time, the PS4 version was not working properly. It looked okay from what I was able to see, but the PC version was gorgeous. The rating here is based on the Alpha.

    I took turns with a friend. We played as hunters and we played as the monster. The game has cool features, like the replay of character positions on the map. The entire asymmetric multiplayer concept for this game is a great addition to the monotony of games that are currently available. The game felt balanced enough during the Alpha. I was able to win on either side.

    Replay value may come into question here. But then again, the same happens with a game like COD or BF also. As long as you're interested in playing online with people, you're good. This game is one of those rare cases where you can talk to your friends about that ONE game that was crazy because x, y, and z happened... Each round plays out differently - unlike a COD match where you do well or not and win or not.

But the game itself is pretty good, at least with friends while hanging out in mumble/ts3/etc. Solid 8 for me when playing with friends, 7 if playing with bots/random guys who've never played with mouse and keyboard before (at least it feels like that).

    So guys, please, try to contain your tantrums and rage a little bit while writing a review. This game doesn't deserve 0. While in my opinion it doesn't deserve ten either, it's still better than your butthurt-zeros. Grow up, really.    … Expand

    I have been playing games for approximately 35 years and I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what makes for a good game. Really good games are actually few and far between.

    In the last few days I have had more fun with Evolve that I have had with any other game in the last 10 years. It really is two games in one. You can play as a monster, solo, starting off rather weak, and by carefully navigating the maps, eating wildlife and avoiding the hunters you can grow into this tremendously strong beast that can smash your opponents - this is endlessly satisfying. Or you can join a team of four strongly typed hunters whose job is to hunt the monster down and take it out before it gets too strong.

    Unfortunately for Evolve, just like other "AAA" releases it seems in recent memory, there is some reason that "the people" are jumping on the negativity bandwagon, and in Evolves case the gripe mainly appears to be DLC and pricing.

    To me the pricing for new monsters and hunters does not seem too bad given that any new maps are going to be released for free. This means you are actually paying for a new character and part funding of the new map development - I much prefer this approach to DLC as it does not split the community - if you choose not to buy DLC but you still get new maps for free. The skins are plentiful and pricey but I keep telling myself I don't need them........

    Anyway, I would totally recommend this game if you enjoy first person shooters. And if you do try it, give it a good go - many of us are so used to the military shooter that they are easy to pick up but Evolve is something very different. You will need new skills to hunt or be hunted and once you have it down it is extremely, extremely fun.    … Expand

    As someone who actually bought the game and understands how they're going about DLC, let me just say this game was well worth the money in my opinion.

After simply taking a break or playing some of the other game modes, I was happy to come back to it. Each match playsAs someone who actually bought the game and understands how they're going about DLC, let me just say this game was well worth the money in my opinion. It's fun and the different modes make for a nice get away from the traditional mode after thirty or so matches in a row. After simply taking a break or playing some of the other game modes, I was happy to come back to it. Each match plays out differently and often requires you to actually consider going about your own play style differently from the previous match. It depends on their comp every time. I love that in a game. Some methods work better than others.

    DLC. The thing most of everyone is crying about. I'll start off by saying that you don't need to buy -anything- to enjoy the game's upcoming content. Even if you don't spend a single penny, the upcoming maps are free, the upcoming modes are free, and the thing that isn't free is actually playing the new monsters and characters. Get this though... You can still play alongside people who have the new characters and play against the new monsters! Yes, you can use them yourself, but you can at least play with the people who are playing as them. The DLC is optional and doesn't exclude you from anything except actually playing the upcoming characters.

    That said, the DLC content is pricey. So yes, that is a con in itself. The fact I'm not forced to buy it and can still play games that involve it though? That makes me happy... And again. Upcoming MAPS AND MODES ARE FREE. League of Legends is a good comparison. Even if you don't personally own the champions and skins, you still see them in game. Evolve works in the same manner.

    Overall? I'm happy with this game and while I can't say I'll be jumping on all of the DLC due to the price, it's nice to know it won't hinder my experience. I know this was helpful for anyone who may of been on the fence about getting this game.

    I'd recommend it.    … Expand

    But you can't judge a game purely on the DLC. Though i think 50% of people here do. Yes the hunters and monsters are overpriced like crazy, but you don't need em to play the game. All future maps and game modes will be free.
    Everyone keeps talking about thousands of microtransactions from day one. The only thing you can purchase and use right now, is **** skins. Wow, what downer huh. That will surely break the game for all of you, that someone has a skin you don't have.
    Then i see some people down voting it, due to other peoples reviews. Get the **** out you little ****
    I think one of the other problems this game has is that, you have to put some thought into what you do. And people nowadays just wanna press buttons and see their victory happen. They don't wanna work for their victory. The fact that people buy unlock packs for Assissins Creed and Battlefied, proves that beyond a doubt. They don't wanna work for it, they just wanna recieve.
    Then some complain about the lack of story in the game. YOU WERE NEVER PROMISED ONE.. IDIOTS...
    Then we have the people that complain that they don't have time to play the game with their friends and blame the game for it. WHAT THE ****....

    And here comes my review of it.

    Firstly: This is not a game for everyone. If you only play fast paced games like CoD, Battlefield, Blacklight and the likes and don't wanna "work" too hard for your kills, then this might not be for you.

    Im not gonna go into what you actualy do in the game, since people should know that by now.
    Just know that it is not a fast paced ultra psycho shooter. It takes time, patience and brain (something alot of young people don't posses). Communication and humor are also welcome additions to what people bring to the game.

    The game takes time to learn, mostly as a monster. The learning curb might be a steep, but you'll get there, if you are willing to give the game more than 1 or 2 hours of time, before you start whinning like a cry baby. The game can be very diverse, but yes, at the same time it can also be repetetive. It all depends on your point of view. If all you see, is you and 3 others hunting a monster, then yes. You will be bored quickly. But if you look beyond that, and realize that you are hunting a monster, played by someone else, and appreciate , the way he plays and the way your hunter teammates play, then it will be a whole different ball game. It is diverse in the way that people go about being the monster or the hunters.
    The game could possibly get boring pretty soon, if you have only played it in offline mode. It's funny that people demanded Offline mode, then they get it and complain that it's boring. Ofcause it won't be as fun as the online mode. A game like Evolve shines the most when playing online. And it's bullcrap, that people say that, you can only play it with friends. I had some great times during the Alpha and Beta. Only played it with random people i didn't know and there were some great moments. (fun fact: Swedes seem to be most talkative people around and including my country) There are some great chaotic moments in there. Just had one today. We engaged the Goliath in a crevice. Lots of stuff was going on all around. Hard to see what was going on with explotions and shrapnel flying everywhere, and out of nowhere, a tyrant comes out of the water and almost eats two of our hunters, while the goliath is trying to beat the crap out of us and the Tyrant at the same time. Good times i tell you.

    All in all i say this is a very fun game. It is for people who likes teamwork, that have patience and likes a challenge. It most certainly most enjoyable online, but i can see how it would become boring if people don't talk, SO TALK PEOPLE, be chatty. It is so much more enjoyable.
    It is not for people who aren't teamplayers and people that wanna get results without work.

    This has been the first shooter in years that I felt was worth the asking price. I have 25 hours of play in, and have barely scratched the surface of my time with it. I've paid more for less.

I have 25 hours of play in, and have barely scratched the surface of my time with it. I've paid more for less. There are basically two games here, one for solo play and one for team play. Playing as the monster has been one of my favorite competitive gaming experiences. As a Hunter, your best times will come from gaming with friends. The AI is, however, improved from the bots in Left 4 Dead. I used solo play to complete all the character unlocks and enjoyed the experience, but it pales in comparison to online play. There is a wealth of depth to the gameplay and each game feels unique and gets the adrenaline going. Expect a slight learning curve. Try not to blame game balance or other players when you lose (especially as monster). Appreciate that another play may be better than you. Enjoy a game that encourages you to get better and be smarter. Buying the base game now will in no way affect your gameplay experience and you will not be missing out on any launch content (honestly the cosmetic dlc isn't even that appealing).

    Again, the microtransaction page has no influence on the gameplay and is strictly cosmetic, probably forced onto a good developer by their source of financial backing. New Hunters and Monsters, which are substantial pieces of new gameplay, will cost money as they should. All new maps will be released for free. The price tag may be set higher than some would like in anticipation of the inevitable Steam sales. The community backlash to this stuff is beyond me, and is coming largely, I think, from misinformation. There is NO Day One content based DLC. The crusade to punish an industry that is trying to keep the base price of AAA games at its current rate, as cost of development is ever increasing and the valuation of games is plummeting as a result of Steam sales and App stores, by monetizing cosmetic customization from those who wish to purchase it, will ultimately be self destructive. We want a certain caliber of game but don't wish to pay for it. When a model is created that keeps the majority from having to pay more, we shouldn't be protesting. I hope, over time, the strong gameplay will have friends recruiting friends and eventually this toxic reaction will dissipate.

    I eagerly look forward to purchasing the new content as it's released and dream of this game developing a huge roster of characters and monsters. I would much rather see that happen than be forced to drop another $60 on Evolve 2 in the next year or two.    … Expand

It is a good way to get a feeling for the characters and learn to play them without screwing a live team over. This game is all about team work. You WILL loose with bad team work (as the hunters).

    I'd recommend playing monsters if you are lone-wolfing it, or hunters if you are playing with others. This game gets the sense of scale spot on. You feel like a little, squishy human when on the ground. In the world you are on, you are really at the bottom of the food chain. You are the soft, tasty morsels that the rest of the creatures eat to get big and strong.

    The monster on the other hand, feels massive. They are huge, they beat the crap out of the other creatures in the world, and then eat them to become more powerful. You ARE the top of the food chain.

    The game gives you that sense of power and size very well.

    The hunters and monsters are all distinct, but at the same time feel pretty balanced. An asymmetric game is NOT easy. That is why most MP games have the same units, or similar on both sides.

    Is there DLC? Yes. Right now, it is JUST skins. Nothing else. Maps, they say, will be released to all, so the player base won't splinter. Later, you can add more hunters and monsters. As long as items remain balanced, there is no NEED to purchase. Just optional.

    I find the number and diversity of the maps to work. Each map plays differently, and they are LARGE.

    Ultimately, this is a very good multiplayer, FPS game. I'd recommend it. Heck, I have recommended it to a few friends who have purchased it.    … Expand

    Pros:
    - If games are drugs, then this game is the Epi Pen of drugs. No other game since Left 4 Dead 2 has given me this kind of rush. Just imagine being hunted (as a monster) and being trapped in a small arena. Running for your life and being forced to fight back as a trapped animal is inherently intense!

Just imagine being hunted (as a monster) and being trapped in a small arena. Running for your life and being forced to fight back as a trapped animal is inherently intense! Albeit, this experience may not be for everyone, but I for one can take the pressure and am absolutely exhilarated when I am forced into sink or swim situations. There should probably be a disclaimer for those already experiencing high blood pressure or heart disease for those players who are capable of engrossing themselves into their games.
    - The graphics from each monster, to hunter, to map, are stunning and extremely detailed. I appreciate how the game is built with a backbone to "evolve" and support 4k gaming. This somewhat makes up or the price tag, but 2k, I fear you are jumping the gun a bit and few general consumers will value/appreciate/afford this feature IMO.
    - The controls on mouse and keyboard feel great for hunters. The controls for the monster and can be polished slightly, but they are already very good for the monster.

    Cons:
    - Content feels a bit lacking for a $60 title. Compared to a MOBA, even LOL and Dota 2 and other MOBA's provided plenty of unlocked options for new players... and for FREE. Sure... your 4k resolution support means this game is next gen... and that character/content creation is that much significantly/exponentially more expensive to develop, but I find grasping that concept difficult as a general consumer. Also, you have instantly priced out a large portion of the starting consumer base for this game whom are accustomed to larger character selections of their free low resolutioned MOBA's.
    - Potential for being another Titanfall or Destiny/unsustainable user base/difficulty reaching user critical mass. 2k, I hope you've made the right calculations and have done enough research to that show that your focus on higher end consumers will end up being more profitable... and if so, I hope your forecast and estimated user retention rates are well considered. I bought this game for the experience, so the lack of content doesn't bother me since the level of detail and thought put into the available content is IMO breathtaking. Your game delivers in the experience department! Quality over Quantity. Really 2k, I get it, and for one appreciate it. However, if not enough people play, then there will be no experience. You are walking a very thin line 2k. And for the sake of my future adrenaline fixed monster bashes, I hope you've judged your target market correctly.

    Conclusion:
    - I must admit, with all the negative hype and complaints about DLC's, I am concerned about the long term player base and community for this game. However, assuming other players are getting the same kind of adrenaline rush I am, i am pretty doubtful this game is going to die like Destiny or Titanfall. I will always be looking for that next adrenaline fix, and few other video games deliver me this level of pure adrenaline. All the eye Candy and level of detail makes it so much easier for me to immerse myself into the atmosphere, which I cannot get from games like LOL or Dota 2 and other free MOBAs. There doesn't seem to be any other close contenders that offer this kind of experience, so I imagine this game is going to be taking a significant chunk of my time. I want to give this game 10/10 for the experience, but am unable to ignore all the negative hype. 2 stars docked, one for the current instability of the user/player base as seen in all the negative reviews about DLC's, and another star for how difficult you made it for me to sell this game to my friends. I am tempted to dock another start for the lack of content, but i just have to remind myself that it's the experience(adrenaline) I am truly seeking which your game more than successfully delivers, despite the limited and paid for character selection.    … Expand

    However, being honest can anyone share that is it really worth buying at US$ 16.06?

    P.S.: For PS4 Version the price is the same as US, US$ 60 (INR 3600)    … Expand

    Ok. Here's the deal. It's a good game, and after reading 50+ other negative reviews, I can understand why people think it's a bad game. They're complaining that there's too much DLC and that the game isn't worth their money. Yep. Most of the people giving this game a zero haven't even played the game. Thanks guys, you're so credible. Now on to the review. The concept is amazing, theOk. Here's the deal. It's a good game, and after reading 50+ other negative reviews, I can understand why people think it's a bad game.

Now on to the review. The concept is amazing, the graphics are great, the game play is fun and exciting. You can truly feel the thrill of the hunt when you're chasing the monster (unless its the wraith) and you feel anxiety when the hunters are closing in when you haven't evolved yet. Yes, this game has a problem with it's content as of now, but more free **** will be available later, and, news flash, DLC isn't required. AT. ALL. You still get to play with everyone no matter what DLC they may have purchased, and all new maps are free. "UGH WTF, $300 WORTH OF DLC. DISGUSTING." Those are literally all skins retard, except the season pass. I don't like people like this, who nitpick at every single thing just to join the band wagon. Just try to ignore the trolls and enjoy the game. Trust me it's worth it.… Expand

    Evolve is unquestionably one of the best multiplayer games to arrive in the last few years.

    When Evolve plays nice and doesn’t annoy you with technical problems, it is kind of fun, provided you play not more than one campaign a day. But, really, you can get the same fun in any decent f2p shooter. Like Team Fortress 2, for example.

    Imbalanced and repetitive to a disappointing degree, but when it hits the mark it can be great. [April 2015, p.56]
